Hi,
I would like to have root for my S2 firmware. Below are the current details of my stock firmware used.
Please note: I originally tried posting in the correct thread but it says my account is restricted in the Development area (something about less than 10 posts).
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKF1
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG2-CL342890 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.JPKG2
Thank you.
Thats due to newbiness inability to read posting questions that are answered on page one etc .This may not apply to you .
You have KG2 firmware and require KG2 root .
As i presume you have read the instructions and found your KG2 CWM and Root kernel all in that thread .
ROOT THREAD
Root + CWM .

I saw the CWM thread but I thought it would be better to ask in the other thread.
Thanks for the info.
No those are very confusing unclear and outdated instructions.
These instrructions are much better.

And watch this video.

I have just rooted following those instructions.
{Build:KI4, Version:1.3.4 (stock, rooted)}
I went to the first link you mentioned before but there is no "Insecure Kernel" for my stock kernel, that is why I posted here.
I am going to use JJ link as it contains the kernel I need.
Thanks for the help and the video link though

AS you have to flash a kernel for the above method the changelog is littered with bugs .
Download screen does not have the picture described .
#You then have to S2 root .
CWM and recovery download CWM and root kernel flash via Odin rooted with CWM no further steps needed .
A different method than the one most used but by no means either easier or better and most certainly not out of date .

nice.
thnx a lot dude
i am a noob and this is my first time rooting a phone.
for my phone:
PDA: I9100JPKH1
PHONE: I9100XXKG5
CSC: I9100JPKH1
Build info: 5/8/2011
should i be using the file "CF-Root-SG2_xx_OXA_KH1-v4.1-CWM4.zip"?
also, my computer detects my phone but kies 2 always gives me an error when trying to identify connected devices, will that have an effefct on the rooting process? just want to make sure before i start.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you Chainfire for all the helpful material you posted!

I desperately need some help.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8gb). Here are some details about this phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJPK
Build Version: Gingerbread.XWJV1
The thing is, I want to root my phone and install custom ROMs and I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I've tried searching everywhere but I can't seem to find out how to do it. There is no information for 2.3.2!
Apparently, 2.3.2 is a beta version and I have no idea how my phone has Gingerbread.
To check whether my phone was already rooted or not, I installed Titanium Backup and it does not run because it needs "root privileges". So, my phone is not rooted.
Please can someone help me on what I need to do? I'm completely lost and desperately in need of help! A step-by-step guide would go a long way!
Thanking you in advance!
The easiest way to root is via super one click. You need to instal the same. You'll find the link in xda forums.

Yes, firstly you need to read the numerous guides already available in xda.
Secondly an excellent single source for firmwares, guides and pc tools is samfirmware.com
Thirdly, and only after you have done extensive research here you desperately need to update your firmware. You must have bought your phone second hand because 2.3.2 JV1 has never been officially released. It was the first leaked alpha release of gingerbread for SGS several months ago and is VERY experimental. An excellent source for current GB 2.3.3 JVH is Ramad's link here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Best of luck...you've bought a cracking phone and the members here are very helpful (as long as you do your bit and thoroughly familiarise yourself with site content)
Thank you ever so much for the kind help!
I managed to find a website that had a step-by-step guide in very little words (but it was a complete guide) and that has helped me with my problems. I've updated to Android 2.3.3.
Yes, this community is great.
I was the same bit just read the development forums and figured it out

Unfortunately CF root doesn't work well with it but this method does: -
How to root and install busybox:
* Download Odin version of FuguRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (Remember to thank nikademus for his excellent work!)
* Download and extract the original and untouched Kernel:
XWJVH Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVB Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVA Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XXJVK Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
* Flash zImage-root tar file as PDA with no pit and no re-partition, let the phone boot until it enters charging mode then disconnect the phone.
* Re-enter Download Mode
* Load the extracted original Kernel tar file as PDA only, no pit and no re-partition, connect the phone and flash the original Kernel.
* Done!
Enjoy your SGS.
Supercurio's kernel is excellent too. I rooted via fuguroot which worked fine, but have now flashed supercurio's.

Omg, i have installed them to my phone, now my phone battery is draining so fast. Please help me.

i am also getting triangle on boot.
Please help me.
do a battery calibration before a battery consumption judgement.
I use LeoMar Revolution 2.6, it is a very easy to use ROM with lots of themes and you can flash it with his kitchen app.
the yellow triangle is for unsafe kernel, it is used for rooting the device. don't let it bother you
Thank you.....
can you give me link to LeoMar Revolution rom's thread?
i cant find it anyhwere

Still haunting for Indian Stock Galaxy Note Firmware...A screen Shot is attach for better understanding.
Image of system information on Purchase...and after purchase...a minor update (KJ9 kernel to KK3 Kernel) are attached for ref.
I updated to KK3 and then rooted and flashed KK1 CF-Root and taken CWM backup.
How could I go back to pure stock. In case I recover from back up ( after all efc and CSC restore using root explorer [backed up earlier]) it will go back to stock however the kernel info will be different...Hope I make devs understand the issue.
There in no where Indian stock firmware available or even CF-Root thread there is no Kj9 or KK3.
You hav backedup after CF root, your backup alreadt contains Root and CF kernel.
Cf root KK1 is same as KK3, as already you have done this.
To go completely back to original stock, you have to follow same procedure by which you hav injected CF kernel. First of all you need is original kernel (i dont know wether available at present) extract that original kernel, get zImage file and CFrootflash, like you did it earlier. Now you have stock firmware n Root
Use zergrush unroot tool to unroot device, then only you will get complete original stock firmware
Read this for further detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Thanks...I understand the process you mentioned. The only point here is that nowher I have found KJ9 or KK3 ( Original Indian Stock Kernel )...!!!
KJ9 is old, look for KK1 if you get, once you get kk1 again you can update over OTA to get KK3

I cannot quite think of an appropriate topic name for this but I know what I want to ask.
A long time back with my Note 3 I had everything nice and customised, updating my ROM regularly until the creator stopped and I decided to stick. Now I'd like to go back to a vanilla rooted version of Lollipop so that I can grab Xposed too. I'd also like to update the Baseband and add in a custom kernel along the way. I've not heard of Xposed for Marshmallow and Marshmallow is crippling my Shield K1 even with Nvidia's so-called fixes hence sticking with Lollipop.
O2 have offered me an SGS 6 Edge Plus or an Xperia Z5 Premium with "Lollipop, the latest software" for £49pm, no handset cost and £100 to pay off my Note 3 but for those prices, I'll be keeping my Note 3 past my contract end date
I know my way around the commands and the flashing guides but I've been away from the Note 3 forums for some time and I am aware that certain combinations can require specific steps to backtrack. If anyone could put me on the right path as to which big steps to take to avoid bricking then I can fill in the little gaps myself and get to my end goal I would be very grateful.
The below information should be sufficient to provide a base as to where I am to start with.
Current:
Phone: SM-N9005 (UK SGS Note 3)
ROM: KitKat 4.42 - last ever custom KitKat rom by CRASH (v19)
Baseband: N9005DXUGNK1
Kernel: 3.4.105-leankernel-hlte-3.14 (Dec 2014) #47
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005DXUGNK1
Root Status: Rooted with Xposed
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 (CWM v.6.0.5.0)
go to MultiX thread from @ykari4 and you will have everything you have.........it's not an obligation to update BL or modem but you can even with LP...like me
I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my opening post.
I would like to go from rooted Custom Kitkat to rooted stock Lollipop and update the baseband along the way. I am looking for the proper big steps to do this.

Thanks. I didn't know if I had to roll back in a specific order or whether it would be as straight forward as you've said. I can do that with my eyes closed
Here is what I am currently running
The phone is currently rooted.
GM-G900V
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: G900VVRU1ANI2
Kernal Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: OptimalROM R12-6
I want to upgrade to MM and install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-ressurrection-remix-mm-t3275340
I also want to upgrade my kernal.
When everything is said and done, I of course want to be rooted.
Now I cant seem to find answers anywhere. I love this site, but finding a helpful guide is painful. So many different version of threads. I found several threads where people were asking the same thing but there were no good answers. So I imagine this could help others too.
If someone could tell me exactly what I need to do to upgrade to MM and get this new ROM installed, I would be insanely grateful.

Hi skoad
You have a Verizon and, as so, you may first start by reading the below:
[GUIDE] Unlocking the Galaxys S5 Bootloader using DEV Bootloader [KK-MM]
As soon as you find yourself comfortable, you will need first update your Bootloader (mentioned above) and Modem partitions. To do so you should flash a Sammobile firmware using Odin.
These are the firmwares available for you but only the first one is Marshmallow and your aim.
You may follow these general instructions obviously regarding your device data.
The Kernel update will be done by the ROM you are focusing to install and it will be rooted already.
Let us know how it performed with Stock.
Cheers.

Thanks a ton. I am pretty busy this weekend but will be giving this a shot Monday and will report back. What youve provided seems very helpful and straightforward, just what I was hoping for!
